  • Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) designed to store and retrieve digital images from radiographic and other digital-imaging systems, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound. These systems consist of a host computer that controls image capture and display, networking, storage, retrieval, and printer output, as well as image-display stations that allow database management and include high-resolution displays and printers. Most of these systems provide more than one image-display monitor to more closely mimic the multi-image display on the conventional view box used by radiologists; they also include interfaces for digital dictation devices. Many systems (mini-PACS) are configurable to serve a specific imaging area, such as MRI, CT, or ultrasound imaging. Radiology PACS permit simultaneous access to images for surgeons, referring physicians, and emergency room personnel; they also alleviate problems associated with storing radiographic films.
